Watch the explosion that knocked out power in parts of Kiruna

Charlotta Fjällborg was sitting at home and working when suddenly there was a disco light at home in the apartment.

- I noticed how the power started to blink and then it disappeared. When I went out on the balcony, I was greeted by loud fireworks and several explosions, says Charlotta Fjällborg.

Soon the emergency services were also on the scene and Charlotta went outside to hear what had happened.

- I mostly wanted to hear that the excavator operator who was on site or that someone else had not been injured. Fortunately, there were no injuries and power was restored 4.5 hours later.

Hence the explosions occurred

It is Kiruna housing (KBAB) that is responsible for the construction of the LSS accommodation, but the incident is not connected to the construction.

Vattenfall would repair a damaged service line in the area.

- From what I have understood, an arc occurred when the voltage was to be disconnected at an electrical cabinet. It's great that no one was hurt, says Jörgen Svonni, CEO of KBAB.

SVT has applied for Vattenfall.
